One of my favourite gestures in Mark Knopflers folk solo's is his uncanny ability to paint the scene so clearly with so few words.
So far from the Clyde describing an old ship going to the breakers, but the twist is from a third person describing how cruel it is to see such a material item being destroyed as oposed to a living breathing person / animal or plant. As you listen you do feel a little mellon colly for the poor ship.

There's not many song writers like him anymore.
